Rare November tornado strikes southeast Wisconsin

MILWAUKEE - Cleanup has begun for southeast Wisconsin after a rare and unusual Novemeber tornado went through the area late Monday night. Racine county was one of the hardest hit, and winds were strong enough to damage several homes and overturned semis. Approximately 3,000 homes lost power in the storm. Fortunately, no one was killed and only a few minor injuries were reported. Utility services returned power to people in the area quickly and clean-up crews standing by to help. By early Tuesday, the storms had moved from southeast Wisconsin into Indiana and Michigan.
